A Moment for Hope

The sermons nearly finished, suddenly a happening befalls my eyes
Our congregation now sits silent, amidst echoing tearful cries
An old man we know as Tommy, he's the retired Rector of our Academy
Now lying silent on the stone cold flagstones, he disappeared from see
Motionless to ashen in lie, worried faces in concern surround
Whilst a face appears from the tears, slowly kneeling on this hallowed ground
In tenderness sigh exhale, her hands now adorn his chest
In gentle moving motion, resuscitation is now addressed
Minutes appear like hours, when suddenly two eyes now open see
Where I'm sitting like others around, what's happening in front of thee
No miracles are cried out loud, simply a calmness by she who coped
All because a face from our congregation, gave us a moment for hope

wow, that was a sweet little miracle you described here. I am glad I got to see this one. It seems like the last post you had made in the old year. Hope to see new ones soon, James. Happy NEW YEAR to you.

Enjoyed reading this work today..Is this based on a real happening?..If so how is the retired rector doing?...I was looking for a poem today and typed in a title and came across my old poem "Decorates" and found your name and comment on it and thought that I would stop by..Soup Mail soon..Sara
